Five

I know, I know, I haven’t posted anything for a looong time. The last few weeks of uni are just like ARRGH! But now it’s over *phew* and I have about three months before I’m off on exchange to study in Toronto till the end of the year! SO excited. I just have to get through all this application anxiety and getting it all together before I leave. I need to research exactly how cold it will be and if I might actually DIE from the cold as some people have been telling me O_o  haha. Anyway, I’m so sorry but I only have two poems for you and to be honest, I don’t like them that much! Hopefully I can get some more fanart and better poetry up before I leave.

Five

I sit here silently pondering
Wake up secretly wondering
The answers to all that plagues me
Swallows me whole and becomes me

We’re not born to believe in enough
It’s always a challenge and life is tough
It’s easier to aim high when you are five
It’s so easy then to feel alive

Dreams are still dreams than can’t be crushed
All is seen with your eyes filled with love
You got the world locked safely in your pocket
Your parents with you in your heart locket

Ten years is so faraway when you are five
Still learning when to wait, and when to dive
No need to be great and have something to show
There’s just love, warmth and learning to grow

Everything is beautiful in your eyes
Untainted by those wicked lies
There’s nothing quite like innocence
Like crouching to smell a flower’s scent

Don’t care I’m wearing a princess dress
Because mummy says that I look best
On top of the world is daddy’s shoulders
Not the milestones that come when we’re older

Your laugh can cure the saddest frown
Cookies excite you when you’re feeling down
Dunking them in milk makes your day
Why can’t life always be this way?

If I could have a single wish
It would be just only this
The ability to see through my eyes
The world I saw when I was five.

Shining Star

She wants to be a shining star
The world to know her name
Ten years old and not afraid
To want success and fame

Then on her sixteenth birthday
Her father said to the girl
“Your dream is foolish, find another
place to be in the world”

She loved her father very much
He was a good and decent man
So she gave up her dream that day
And made some different plans

Somewhere else another girl
Had the same dream too
But her father said to her that day
“You can be whatever you want to”

The first girl went on to have
A fairly successful life
But the dream she gave up was always there
Resting at the back of her mind

The second girl struggled with her dream
And lived difficultly for a long time
But with every setback, she got up again
The dream always clear in her mind

The moral of the story isn’t to be a superstar
It’s to not be afraid to want what you want
No matter who you are

The first girl took the safer route
And her life, it did go far
But the second girl fought hard for the dream
And now she’s that shining star.
